In 19th-century China, seven year old girls Snow Flower and Lily are matched as laotong - or "old sames" - bound together for eternity. Isolated by their families, they furtively communicate by taking turns writing in a secret language, nu shu, between the folds of a white silk fan. In a parallel story in present day Shanghai, the laotong's descendants, Nina and Sophia, struggle to maintain the intimacy of their own childhood friendship in the face of demanding careers, complicated love lives, and a relentlessly evolving Shanghai. Drawing on the lessons of the past, the two modern women must understand the story of their ancestral connection, hidden from them in the folds of the antique white silk fan, or risk losing one another forever.

[Highly rated reviewer]

the film flips between the past and the present, quite gently, subtly. It makes you feel that you want to tell the sisters to be more than the emotionally repressed china of old was and break thru the barriers that caused them pain. The ending though just shows how the central theme of this film, love and loyalty between sisters, ultimately transcends even the cultural inadequacies of the time.
